The Taste of The Town
' Bethpage Water Commissioner Sal Greco (right) proudly accepts the
Best Tasting Water Conference trophy from Long Island Water Confer­ence
Chairman Paul Granger.
Water from the Bethpage Water
District and the Suffolk County Wa­ter
Authority were judged to be the
tastiest in their respective counties
in this year's annual Best Tasting
Tap Water Contest. Each public wa­ter
supplier was awarded a three-foot
trophy to proudly display in their
community and will hold their county
title for one year.
The eleventh annual contest,
sponsored by the Long Island Wa­ter
Conference and held in com­memoration
of National Drinking
Water Week, highlighted the great
taste of tap water throughout Long
Island. Hundreds of Broadway and
Walt Whitman mall shoppers tried
samples from various public water
suppliers to choose one they liked
best.
The county winners will go
head-to-head on Friday, June 18 at
the Weeping Willow Restaurant in
Farmingdale to determine a Long
Island champ. In addition, both
winners will also compete in the
New York State Health Depart­ment's
upcoming regional tasting
competition this summer.
"Actually, we are all winners --
suppliers and customers alike," said
LIWC Chairman Paul Granger. "We
are fortunate that nature provides
us with one of the best water sup­plies
in the U.S. The purpose pf this
contest is to get that message out
to the public."
In operation since 1923, the
Bethpage Water District maintains 9
deep wells and serves a population
of 33,000. The Suffolk County Wa­ter
Authority serves approximately
80 percent of Suffolk's population --
from Cold Spring Harbor to Mon-tauk.
Nassau-Suffolk's public water
supply is held to some of the most
stringent drinking water regulations
in the nation. It is brought to us
from deep underground aquifers,
through an elaborate system of wa­ter
mains (large pipes), wells and
storage tanks. Because of todgy's
sophisticated technology, Long Is­landers
can simply turn on the tap
when they want a clean refreshing
drink of water.
The Long Island Water Confer­ence,
established in 1951, is a pro­fessional
organization dedicated to
providing and maintaining an ade­quate
and safe public water supply
system on Long Island. Members
include Nassau-Suffolk's public wa­ter
suppliers, consulting engineers,
attorneys, water contractors and of­ficials
from governmental regulatory
agencies.
